Yeah, this is the kind of weird shit that collectors go goofy over. Kinda like a double-struck coin or misaligned postage stamp print.

Stick that thing in a vault full of inert gas and sell it for $$$ in 50 years.

Except that these are not a rare error that slipped through the system they were deliberately painted like that for whatever reason they saw fit.

Must have been the inspiration for this look/paint? Two tone approach stolen from nature!

I don't know, gonna call it a "Mistake" in my book!

By the way, since we are talking about engine compartment paint jobs and all... if you don't drop by soon, I am gonna be driving this thing over to YOUR house for a beer! It is getting close to first drive.

May look like a Maaco job under the hood but it's going to last a lot longer/look better than that crap.

I think "add a turbo" in Japanese means "please dont finish painting the fucking car hehexd"

There isn't a chance in hell a Japanese consumer would accept this from a Japanese dealer. Consumers there check for excess grease on door hinges- something like this would never be acceptable there.

So why do they think it's ok here?
